2001 Bruce Roberts Mauritius 45 - Sombrero

Sombrero is a well-built 2001 Bruce Roberts Mauritius 45, a custom Australian-built bluewater cruising yacht designed for sailors seeking exceptional offshore capability, timeless styling and dependable long-range performance. Based on the proven Mauritius 43 design and extended by an additional two feet, she offers increased interior volume, enhanced deck space and even greater comfort for extended passagemaking.

Designed by renowned Australian naval architect Bruce Roberts, the Mauritius series has earned a respected reputation among serious cruisers for its robust construction, seaworthy hull design and practical offshore credentials. Sombrero features a versatile cutter-rigged ketch configuration, providing outstanding flexibility across a wide range of sailing conditions while remaining easily managed by a couple during extended offshore passages.

Built with strength and reliability in mind, she combines a moderate displacement hull, deep protected centre cockpit and secure side decks to inspire confidence at sea. The extended hull enhances both sailing performance and onboard comfort, while the traditional profile and elegant sheerline give Sombrero enduring appeal that stands apart from modern production yachts.

Below deck, warm timber finishes and a practical liveaboard layout create a welcoming atmosphere for extended cruising. The additional hull length translates into noticeably improved living space throughout the saloon and owner's accommodation, while the well-equipped galley, generous storage and comfortable three-cabin arrangement provide everything required for life aboard.

Whether your plans include coastal cruising, ocean crossings or full-time liveaboard adventures, Sombrero represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a capable, custom-built offshore yacht with proven bluewater pedigree and enduring Australian craftsmanship.
